Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, on May 8, 2026, visited a photo exhibition titled 'A Decade of Silent Service to the Nation' organised by Tiranga Mountain Rescue (TMR), India's pioneering high-altitude rescue organisation, at Manekshaw Centre, New Delhi to commemorate 10 years of dedicated service. The exhibition featured impactful photographs, capturing TMR's operations across the nation's high-altitude regions, highlighting the resilience of its volunteers and the lives touched by their efforts.
Addressing the gathering, Defence Minister commended the courage, discipline and selfless service of TMR in some of the most challenging terrains. "Our soldiers endure unmatched hardships while guarding the frontiers. At times, even nature itself stands against them. In such circumstances, it is these mountain rescuers who risk their own lives to bring them to safety. While they boost the morale of the soldiers, they reassure the residents of mountainous regions that they are not alone. Their silent yet impactful work reflects the true spirit of India," he said.
Rajnath Singh added that while machines offer assistance & systems provide support, it is the individual who possesses a deep sense of duty steps forward to save a life. TMR has repeatedly demonstrated that they are the true custodians of this spirit, he said, adding that the organisation is not limited merely to rescue operations, it is indirectly strengthening border stability, community confidence, and national resilience.
TMR Founder Hemant Sachdev described the exhibition as not just a reflection of the organisation's journey, but a tribute to every volunteer who stood tall in the face of adversity. "Our silent service has always been for the nation, and we remain committed to safeguarding lives in the mountains, where every rescue is a race against time," he said.
Chief of the Army Staff General Upendra Dwivedi, Defence Secretary Rajesh Kumar Singh and other senior officials were present on the occasion.
TMR has led and supported rescue missions during major disasters including the Manipur Tupul landslide (2022), Sikkim Glacial Lake Outburst Floods (2023), Wayanad floods (2024) and the Dharali landslide and flash floods (2025). Among its most notable missions have been the retrieval of remains from the 1968 AN-12 air crash near Rohtang and recovery operations for BRO workers in Mana, Uttarakhand.
